The shape, feel and tea from it is just wonderful. Its become my main Sencha pot now and has even temporarily stopped me teaware shopping . The clay sort of reminds me a little of Hokujo clays. With the way the little orange specks gather on the inside of the bottom of the pot.

It really is good for the budget that I have been using all of my kyusus quite frequently in the last few weeks--it's like being immunized against the incredible pull of these lovely pots, which are so very seductive with their whispered promises of "better! richer! fuller!" sencha sessions....
